CONVICT LABOR.

Figures From the Report of Labor Com
m ssioner Wright on the Convict Labor
Systems of the Countrywide Bugbear
Not So Terrible After All.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Commissioner
of Labor Carroll D. Wright has submitted
his report on convict labor to the Secre-
tary of the Interior. There are, he says,
four systems of employment of convicts
in this country, name y: The contract
system, the piece price system, the public
account system and the lease system. The
number of prisoners of all grades en-
ployed in the institutions covered by the
report is 64,69, the males numbering
IA and the females 5s95 OF
this total number 1927 are engaged in
productive labor; 1880 are eng ged in
prison duties, and 8, 972 are sick or idle. OF
this total number, A. S27 are employed un-
der the public account system, by which
the institution buys material and con-
verts 1t into manufactured articles, which
are sold in the best available markets:
1850 are employed under the contract
system, under which contractor en-
ploys convicts at a certain agreed price
per day for their labor; and 5,616 under
the piece price system, under which the
institution leases the convicts to con-
tractor for specified sum and for fixed
period, the lessee usually undertaking to
clothe. feed, care for and maintain proper
discipline among the prisoners.
This prison population of 64,6)9 has
proportion of one in a thousand to the
population Of the United States, and what
ever competition, considering the country
at large, which comes from convict labor
in any form must, come from this one con-
vict in thousand of the population, bat
the proportion to those engaged in mechan-
ical pursuits in the whole country is about
one convict to every fifty persons en-
ployed.
The total value of goods made and
work done on productive labor in the pen
al institutions of the whole country is S31,-
153, 500 l3. 1t took IS, n convic,s one wear
to produce this total value, and it would
have taken 35,534 free laborers to have
produced the same quantity of goods.
Mr. Wright thinks it evident from in
formation obtained that the competition
arising from the employment of convicts,
as far as the whole country is concerned,
would not, of itself, constitute question
worthy of serious discussion. However,
locally and in certain industries, the com
petition may be serious, and Of such pro
portions as to claim the most serious at |
tention of Legislatures.
